Yes! My daughter refused to use the bathroom in a certain local bookstore because of the loud and powerful flush. Must be a scary thing to a little kid…

Thanks for linking this to M.O.B today, I loved this story, both funny and relate-able! I guess I would have been thinking that anesthesia requires an IV so this would be easier in the long run.

Our first conversations with our son on bravery were shortly after he potty trained, in reference to public restrooms and automatic flushing toilets! He still puts his hands over his ears 18 months later before walking into a public restroom.

Love this! I made the mistake of trying to shield my kids from pain at first. Fortunately started to learn the folly of that before they got too old. Ironically, I think my mom made it her responsibility to keep ME from pain. When pain came (as of course it did), who do you think I blamed? Mom. Hard cycle to get out of. I don't want my kids to deal with that. .-= Steph @Red Clay Diaries´s last blog ..What happens when you can’t? =-.

Great post! It’s HARD to watch our kids go through pain and discomfort…but necessary. I posted a story along the same lines last week. I can sympathize with the poor boy…I had more teeth pulled than I lost! Mine just weren’t budging. I was about his age when I had my first one pulled and I was terrified. He’s a brave boy with a wise mama!

Such great lessons, here. Especially, if you happen to be one of THE most squeamish moms on the planet, still trying to build up the courage to not close my eyes, or cry, each time one of my kids is about to get hurt. Physically, emotionally, mentally, etc... .-= Liz@thisfullhouse´s last blog ..Picture Perfect Thursday: Lost and Found =-.
